Computing the Rabin Index of a Parity Automaton

Olivier Carton, Ramón Maceiras (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

The Rabin index of a rational language of infinite words given by a parity automaton with states is computable in time ( ) where is the cardinality of the alphabet. The number of values used by a parity acceptance condition is always greater than the Rabin index and conversely, the acceptance condition of a parity automaton can always be replaced by an equivalent acceptance condition whose number of used values is exactly the Rabin index. This...

Closure properties of hyper-minimized automata

Andrzej Szepietowski (2012)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

Two deterministic finite automata are almost equivalent if they disagree in acceptance only for finitely many inputs. An automaton is hyper-minimized if no automaton with fewer states is almost equivalent to . A regular language is canonical if the minimal automaton accepting is hyper-minimized. The asymptotic state complexity () of a regular language is the number of states of a hyper-minimized automaton...

Closure properties of hyper-minimized automata

Andrzej Szepietowski (2011)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

Two deterministic finite automata are almost equivalent if they disagree in acceptance only for finitely many inputs. An automaton is hyper-minimized if no automaton with fewer states is almost equivalent to . A regular language is canonical if the minimal automaton accepting is hyper-minimized. The asymptotic state complexity () of a regular language is the number of states of a hyper-minimized automaton for a language finitely different from . In this paper we show...

On Conjugacy of Languages

Julien Cassaigne, Juhani Karhumäki, Ján Maňuch (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

We say that two languages and are conjugates if they satisfy the for some language . We study several problems associated with this equation. For example, we characterize all sets which are conjugated a two-element biprefix set , as well as all two-element sets which are conjugates.

Equality sets for recursively enumerable languages

Vesa Halava, Tero Harju, Hendrik Jan Hoogeboom, Michel Latteux (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

We consider shifted equality sets of the form , where and are nonerasing morphisms and is a letter. We are interested in the family consisting of the languages , where is a coding and is a shifted equality set. We prove several closure properties for this family. Moreover, we show that every recursively enumerable language is a projection of a shifted equality set, that is, for some (nonerasing) morphisms and and...

Reaction automata working in sequential manner

Fumiya Okubo (2014)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

Based on the formal framework of reaction systems by Ehrenfeucht and Rozenberg [75 (2007) 263–280], reaction automata (RAs) have been introduced by Okubo [429 (2012) 247–257], as language acceptors with multiset rewriting mechanism. In this paper, we continue the investigation of RAs with a focus on the two manners of rule application: maximally parallel and sequential. Considering restrictions on the workspace and the -input mode, we introduce the corresponding variants of RAs and investigate...

Regularity of languages defined by formal series with isolated cut point

Alberto Bertoni, Maria Paola Bianchi, Flavi D’Alessandro (2012)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

Let  = { ∈  | ()  } be the language recognized by a formal series :  → ℝ with isolated cut point . We provide new conditions that guarantee the regularity of the language in the case that is rational or is a Hadamard quotient of rational series. Moreover the decidability property of such conditions is investigated.
